This might be a dumb question, but I can be sure that I'll be told if
that's the case, so here goes:
What's a good oversubscription ratio for customer traffic to global
Internet bandwidth these days? I.e., if you have, say 90megs of bandwidth
to other transit providers, how much bandwidth, in aggregate, are you
selling to customers -- 90? 450? 900?
Do customers care about this? Or do they assume that if they get a T1 to
the Internet from you that they have their own T1's worth of non
over-subscribed bandwidth to your transit providers?
Thanks,
Mathew
